Question 21" front on SG question!!

Is anyone running 21" frnt with stock 16" rear and riding 2 up? Any handling issues with that? My wife likes to ride and I dont want to do a mod that will keep us from doing our trips. Any experience on this?

I'm running a 17/21 and just got back from a 1200 mile weekend with the wife on the back. No issues at all. I did lower the front 1".

No issue's what so ever, I love the way it handles and rides, took the almost to quickness out of it and made it smooth as silk, I also have a 200/50/17" in rear.
